Ramularia ulmariae is a fungal species described by Cooke in 1876.[2] Ramularia ulmariae belongs to the genus Ramularia and the family Mycosphaerellaceae. No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.[3][4]
This fungus is a pathogen of meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) that causes purple spots on the plant's leaves and is most evident in summer. It produces translucent, cylindrical conidia with up to two septa.[5]
Ramularia ulmariae has been reported from Europe and also the western coast of North America. However its presence is probably under-recorded.[6]
